my suite journey
About Adriene
I am a creative self-starter with a great eye for design and color. I love clean lines and am addicted to logos, fonts, and typography in general. I enjoy learning new software, and no design challenge has ever gotten the best of me. I strive to empower women to encompass their own journey simply because they have an idea, a spark, or a message to send - but hesitate to take that first step.
In 1999, I married my very kind and supportive husband, Steve, who enabled me to build and run my graphic design business over the past twenty-one years in the comfort of our home. In 2015, we took a leap of faith and moved from my home state of Maryland to North Carolina. Our daughter, Jessica, and son-in-law, John, remind me by their actions to keep it simple, remain true to myself, and enjoy the journey. I am also surrounded by a wonderful core group of friends and family who have inspired and encouraged me along the way.
Aside from graphic design, my other passions are anything Broadway, interior decor, a brilliant sunset, retreating to the beach, mountains, or scenic vineyards, and supporting other small businesses!
About Market Impressions
Founded in 2003, I proudly work with a variety of small & start-up businesses and engaged couples from coast to coast. I work independently with all the cutting-edge software bringing my expertise and limitless possibilities to complete the brand identity and wedding invitation packages.
When it comes to managing Market Impressions, top-notch customer service comes second to none. I listen to what my clients want and bring their vision to life beyond their expectations.
When it comes to graphic design, it’s all in the presentation and everything should flow consistently with purpose, on purpose. Remember, building a solid foundation in anything you pursue takes time … plus loads of creativity!
About the Biz
Specializing in the Small and Start-Up Biz, I understand the sensitive care and planning it takes to either launch a new venture or rebrand present materials for a fresh new look. I pride myself on personalizing each and every design project to make your business material unique. This can all be accomplished with your new “brand identity suite”.
A brand identity suite may consist of a new logo, business cards, brochures, etc. - anything needed set up for print, web, and social media.
About the Bride
Also specializing in Custom Wedding Invitation Suites and Day-Of Artistry, I am thrilled to work with such wonderful brides, grooms, and wedding planners. I love getting to know my engaged couples to bring their wedding day vision to life creating custom designs like none other.
The suite design consists of, but is not limited to, save the date cards, invitations, response cards, details cards, and printed envelopes. “Day-Of” reception artwork consists of the welcome sign, ceremony programs, place or escort cards, seating chart, guest table numbers, menus, specialty table signs, favor tags, and more!
